Recent research has uncovered a startling discovery: certain rare genetic mutations in the breast cells of healthy women may be early indicators of breast cancer development. This groundbreaking study, conducted by researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC), BC Cancer, Harvard
The intricate dance between viruses and the host cells they infect has always been a subject of intense scientific inquiry. Recent research into SARS-CoV-2, the virus at the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, has revealed a sophisticated mechanism through which this pathogen manipulates host
Stéphanie Gauvin and Tim MacIsaac, a devoted couple hailing from Nova Scotia, have embarked on a challenging and emotional journey to save their five-year-old golden doodle, Lucy, diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma. In their quest to find the best possible treatment for Lucy, they have encountered
Engineered virus-like particles (eVLPs) are revolutionizing the field of gene delivery and editing. These particles are designed to safely and effectively deliver macromolecules, such as mRNAs, proteins, or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs), into cells. While Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have been
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), also known as somatoliberin, has emerged as a significant focus in medical research due to its extensive biological activities and therapeutic potential. GHRH, a family of hypothalamic peptide hormones, plays a crucial role in stimulating and modulating the
Spermidine, a naturally occurring polyamine, has attracted significant attention in scientific research for its potential role in combating diabetes and the vascular complications that arise from this condition. A recent study published in Nature Cell Biology delves into how spermidine influences
